Take it all or leave it

I can't sleep like I used to
The world will try to tell you who are before you get to
Explain yourself, your thoughts, your motives, and all your reasons
Two albums every season, what the hell do ya’ll believe in?
Why the hell do ya'll keep reachin'? In the evenings when I see them
I tell myself that love will be the thing to keep us from grieving
Need something new to believe in
’Cause these new niggas'll change on you, I mean they change on you
Why the hell the BBC only writes about me
When it comes down to controversy?
What about three CDs in one year with no label
And we signed and our story turned into a fucking fable
I was a nigga in a room with no motherfuckin' cable and no table
Now my mom call me whenever she needs her car note
Cellphone, whatever bill paid too, y'all niggas losers
You understand why I do what I do, so let me do it
Get the hell on, let me do it, get the hell on, let me do it

I don't speak like I used to
I'm thinking of a way to change the world that I move through
I feel like Nikola, what I invent is what I'm true to
I feel for Nikola with these ideas that I grew through
I know that when they see a brilliant mind they'll just abuse you
I started feelin’ restless nights, I’m scared that I'm delusional
I’m scared that I'm more like Nikola than I'd ever collude to
I'm scared of what can happen when ideas would consume you ’Cause there isn't room for peace I can achieve

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' you
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

Stay off, get buff, get out, hey boy
Stay off, get buff, get out
The monsters swarm around with them toys
The monsters swarm around with them toys
Hey boy, stay off, get buff, get out
Hey boy, stay off, get buff, get out
The monsters swarm around with them toys
The monsters swarm around with them toys

Don't mind me I'm just killin' time (you can pick me to pieces)
But if you got a lifeline, throw it, throw it
Don't mind me I'm just killin' time (you can pick me to pieces)
But if you got a lifeline, throw it, throw it

Why the fuck would you share this shit with these people
I don't know these people
I don't know you either no more
I'm at war with myself
Every time I see this shit I wanna kill myself
And they coming for my mother sending bullets for my head
And they foolin' me nah but I'd rather be dead
Just leave me alone, I don't wanna be read
Yeah ah

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' you
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' you
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' you
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' you
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

It's the best years of our lives, motherfucker
I feel you
